If you’re a bookworm, walking by Truman Capote’s home in Brooklyn Heights is a pilgrimage you won’t want to miss. Located at 70 Will Street, Capote lived in this home from 1955 to 1965 and wrote some of his most famous books, like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “In Cold Blood.”
Skip the tourist version and do it like a local, here’s how.
The pre-Civil War building is a private residence and isn’t open to the public, but seeing the house from the outside is still a thrilling experience for bookworms. Capote’s residence proves that the neighborhood served as a safe haven for writers and artists many years ago, making this don’t skip this spot for history buffs.
